That’s why I said “maybe”.
The line - you know the line - makes it a candidate though.
it was pretty simple:
“Wichita Lineman”
I am a lineman for the county and I drive the main road
Searchin’ in the sun for another overload
I hear you singin’ in the wire, I can hear you through the whine
And the Wichita Lineman is still on the line
I know I need a small vacation but it don’t look like rain
And if it snows that stretch down south won’t ever stand the strain
And I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time
And the Wichita Lineman is still on the line
[Instrumental Interlude]
And I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time
And the Wichita Lineman is still on the line
[Instrumental to end]
Not sure, there are several lines in it that are great. "But I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time." Is that it?
The arrangement, with the words "I hear you singin' in the wires," coming the violins playing super high, like the wind playing with a wire. That's a killer too.
Along with By The Time I Get To Phoenix, those two songs knocked it out of the park for Jimmy Webb and Glen Campbell.
I happen to think that MacArthur Park was a masterpiece also, but it didn't fit so beautifully into 3:05.
